Pacquiao-Barrera PPV Does 350K Buys

Horrible numbers. What a disappointment.

Thats the issue. You've only been to San Antonio. Readers of the San Antonio Express span from Corpus Christy down to South Texas were I'm from. Boxing is a HUGE sport in Texas, especially south Texas. Since San Antonio seems to be the unofficial place for boxing in Texas, people read. Also, you have to remember that Pac/Barrera 1 was fought in San A so it would make sense for Arum to release that info to them.

Actually, I haven't "only" been to sanAntonio.

My dog trained at the Triple Crown Kennels outside of Austin. I recruited at UT business school, A good friend lived in West U in Houston. I've been to harlingen, all over the hill country, etc. I had an engagement in Lubbock.

With all that said, San anton is still a relatively small media market. I would bet that the LA Times has 3x the circulation of the SAX.

i remember pac-erik 2 when morales lost a lot of mexicans called up to get credits on the PPV that was ****ing hilarious. true story though.

It's ashame, the fight that isn't as exciting as every other fight he's been in, does the most. They advertised it well, I heard the commercials on hip hop stations and MTV. If only they did that for the Pac-Morales 3rd fight. You'd have so many new boxing fans. This was the kind of fight that doesn't really draw new fans, such as Mayweather-Oscar. Hyped to hell, could have been good, but no.

and you are blaming pac for it, right?

Sounds about right on my end of the spectrum. Pacquiao is a huge draw so I'm sure more than half of the people who ordered it ordered it to see him fight. I'd say 30% of the sales were probably Barrera fans who knew it was their last chance to support him and see him fight live.

I'd say that a great majority of those who bought it were expecting a war and ended up disappointed with both parties fight plans.

hello.....

What? I wasn't even being an ass that time!

Seriously, Barrera oculd've made it a bit more competitive and Pacquiao could've done a better job at landing power shots. That's a critique of both guys, not just one.

[brutal ko]

well atleast this fight was better than mayweather vs dela hoya. that was the most boring **** ever 2 minutes in round 1 and i turned off the tv
